Good morning, Millennials, and welcome back to the toast.

Hey, happy Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday.

Worst day ever.

Yesterday was the worst day ever.

I don't even know how to function and like do this job.

I've actually never had a harder time doing my job in my entire life.

I felt literally embarrassed of yesterday's episode.

Like I, yesterday was literally the worst day.

We did the episode.

And I think in the morning, given like the time difference, we don't get news here about what's going on in Israel until, and when we rapped and really just tried to do like a nice funny show.

While also talking about what's going on in Israel, just kind of the way that we would talk like normally.

The way if we were hanging out.

And I felt like when I woke up in the morning, I was feeling a little more

hopeful and feeling like, you know, it's our job to bring light and that's what we're going to do today.

So we did our show.

And then we just got up and checked our phones.

And

I literally felt like embarrassed to have put out that episode, like given what I had read after.

After we wrapped.

I literally was humiliated.

Like, I wasn't humiliated, but I just felt stupid.

Like,

I didn't even promote yesterday's episode.

I don't, I don't know how to function, like, for real.

I, I agree.

So after the episode, we read about the 40 babies.

There are no words.

There are no words.

And then in, like, I feel like in that moment, like, I, I, I'm a different person since that.

And then, so, looking back at the episode, I'm like, how just doesn't know?

But then, throughout yesterday, like, we've just been talking.

Honestly, talking to your people is

so comforting right now.

And I've, I go through like highs and lows, but I saw a quote this morning that makes me feel very strongly about us doing what we do

and that we have to keep doing it.

So, let me find my my Instagram quote card that's buoying me.

That's my new favorite word because I need to be

buoyed right now.

Okay, I love that word.

It's kind of like tethered, right?

Yeah.

But like for the ocean.

For the ocean.

Like there are very few things buoying me right now.

I'm so glad you, I love the word buoying.

You'll read your quote.

This is my quote.

From my new favorite Instagram account, Lee Kern.

He wrote on the movie Borat.

He's so funny and he's so pro-Israel and you need to follow him.

I just gotta follow him this morning.

Lee Kern 13.

Love, laughter, and inspiration inspiration are life support for the human soul.

Do your best to keep people's spirits up.

That doesn't mean we pretend all is amazing, but help keep your fellow Jews from slipping into trauma and paralysis.

We love each other.

We will emerge on the other side.

Oh my God, everything Lee Kern's posts makes me cry.

And they're also so, there's other ones that are so fucking funny.

And that's what we have to do.

That's our job.

I said to you yesterday, we all have our role to play in the war to come.

Oh, my God.

Jackie pulled that Game of Thrones card out of her ass.

And like, I've been thinking about it nonstop.

Say it again.

We all have our role to play in the war to come.

We are at war.

We have a few roles to play and one of them is to help people's souls.

Another one is to be so proudly Zionist to share information, to share the truth, to everything that we're doing.

So as much as like you want to sink,

we're doing our part.

Yes.

And part of that is the light.

And it doesn't mean and we're I'm happy to go in and out of talking about Israel right now because like that's what our day has.

And that's what our stream of consciousness is like.

And also, we kind of just have been sitting around, like, reading the news, also, like, reading everyone's garbage posts on Instagram.

The social media, I can't stop talking about it.

I feel conflicted because it's so unimportant, but like it is, it is important.

It's important.

And I just know everyone who listens to our show is sitting around doing the same thing, sending everyone's posts to their group chat.

Yeah.

Like, what is this person actually saying?

What does this person actually stand for?

And we're having those conversations on this show.

So, um, things that are buoying us.

I love that.

Um, what's buoying me right now?

Well, first of all, I went yesterday to a pro-Israel rally, which honestly, like, I am like ashamed to admit, like, I was terrified to go to.

Remember, I was sitting with you yesterday and I got like really nauseous.

I think like I was scared.

Like, I think that's what my nausea was from.

Because the other side, we've seen, they're so violent.

They're cheering on what happened.

They're holding up swastikas.

Like, these are not people who want me walking around being.

proudly Jewish.

So I really was terrified.

And shout out to my friend Moti Ankari, who posts the, he's literally the best Instagram account.

Another Instagram account that you can.

Everyone should follow.

Moti, M-O-T-I Ankari.

He's texting me.

He's like, we're going.

Like, he's like, stop.

I'm like, okay, okay, we're going.

I said this morning, like, should we do our show, like, the fast five Instagram accounts you need to unfollow and the fast five that you need to follow?

So let's, throughout, just drop ones that you should follow.

And I'm sure.

What I'm loving that is incredibly graphic, but like you said, like.

This is not time for trigger warnings.

This is not time to protect yourself.

Like, this is happening to real people.

And unless you see it, you won't believe it.

40 Babies.

Right.

Do you know how many people are messing?

40 Babies is a Zionist propaganda lie really i saw a picture what's so crazy first of all they had to live it so we have to watch it we have to know what happened what's so crazy is all the footage that's coming out was taken by hamas because they're like so proud of what they did yeah and the world can't look away because look it's right there they're showing us yep That's the one thing where Israel did not put out like the pictures explicitly.

They're all kind of blurred.

And so people are doubting that it happened.

They're saying that it's like Zionist propaganda.

And so it's like, imagine if Hamas didn't take all those videos.

You wouldn't believe it.

No one, no, no, no.

People would not believe that this happened.

They would say that Israel is lying.

So on the one hand, it's like, it's so awful that they are like broadcasting and live streaming what they did.

But on the other hand, like, thank God.

You guys wouldn't believe it.

So and it's not the toasters because the toasters are good.

Oh, yeah, by the way, when we, I'm so angry, I keep saying you guys.

Like yesterday I was just like recording, you guys, you guys, I'm not talking to like our community that is the best community on the internet.

I've ever been so proud to do what we do.

Like, let's do Camp Toast again.

Like, we've got to get together.

We've got to get together.

But the account that I was referring to is called Black and Jewish Unity.

It's by far my favorite account,

especially given that yesterday, or maybe even the day before yesterday, like the official Black Lives Matter organization that so many of us rallied behind and raised money for and were happy to support, especially within the Jewish community who has historically stood up for civil rights.

To see them come out with a statement for all of their chapters that they stand with Palestine was so

vile and so disgusting.

And so, Black and Jewish Unity, and I know that doesn't represent a lot of the Black community, so I think that account is really great.

Black and Jewish Unity, Motian Kari 2, Nate Buzz, like there's really good people doing good work, and I we should you know leverage our platform to promote them.

To promote them, Liz Woods, she's got the celebrity angle, not skidding enough ads,

killer content, Violet Benson, killer content.

I've been enjoying following Bar Raffaelli since yesterday.

Yeah,

that's buoying me.

Another thing buoying me is this chat.

So we were put in

this chat

yesterday.

I don't know who organized it, but just with like a lot of influential celebrities, influencers who support Israel.

Like what can we do?

How can we raise money?

It's just kind of this coalition, if you will.

Think tank.

Think tank.

And it is, first of all, just like seeing who joins, like, I'm still me, you know?

Like seeing, you know, celebrities' phone numbers, like, I'm obsessed.

Like, that is buoying me.

And just being around like-minded people.

And that's why going to the rally yesterday, I'm sorry, my thoughts are all over the place.

I was so scared, like, seriously, petrified.

And it was amazing.

Oh, my God.

The sheer

number of people.

Something about the pro-Israel movement is, you know, it's always like your grandpa.

Like, it's always like the old people you see in Shul who have lived long enough to know why the state of Israel is so important.

There's never really like a galvanized youth movement.

And this rally yesterday was literally my high school reunion.

Like, it was just so amazing to see so many young people, so many people, and enormous shout-out.

Like, I felt so safe.

I didn't even, I was not looking over my shoulder for one second.

Everyone was metal detected.

It took forever to get in.

Metal detected, cops everywhere, like huge shout out to the NYPD.

Like, there was barricades and droves of police.

Like, I just felt so safe.

Um, and UJA was the organization, organization that put it on, and I think paid for all that security.

So, I felt really great.

And it was just like, so when you live in the internet, which I do, my screen time, I can't even imagine what it is this week.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

It's just so easy to forget that, like, there are normal people and there are good people and there are allies and they're, they're, and it was, I think I read somewhere as 12,000 people.

Wow.

It took me about 30 minutes to walk out.

The governor was there, the mayor was there, the UN ambassador for Israel was there.

Everybody spoke, everybody was singing.

Like, it was just,

it, it was fabulous.

So, like, that's a high.

Yeah.

But, like, my friends, Jewish, I mean, not Jewish friends, just being like, how are you doing?

Like, what can I do?

The only way to describe it is like highs and lows.

Yeah.

Because I don't know.

I don't know either, but just every, like, I feel like people, especially influencers, like, don't necessarily post.

And I felt this way sometimes too, because it's like, I don't have anything new to say and I don't know what to say.

So I'm not going to contribute anything.

But like, just

letting people know where you stand on the sign of human rights means so much.

The bar is so low.

The bar is so low.

Yeah, no, I don't know.

But people can't meet it.

People can't meet it.

And now all of a sudden, now all of a sudden, you can't be taking up space with your voice.

It used to be that your silence was violence.

I guess no longer.

Now silence is necessary in the face of evil.

You should be silent.

Yeah.

That's what I'm seeing.

And I don't get it.

Why did silence stop being violence?

I don't know.

I think when the violence was targeted in Jews, that's when silence was okay.

No stop.

No, like popular culture and rhetoric is so frustrating right now.

I can't, in our, you know, in our sisters' chats and we're like chatting with, you know, people we we know are allies, other influencers, we just keep screenshotting and being like, are you, imagine releasing a statement on this entire, and I'm going to call out Rhys motherfucking Witherspoon, releasing a statement on this entire saga and not once in your statement is the word Israel or the word Hamas.

Or the word Jews.

Manipulating language so much to mark yourself as safe from like any sort of backlash.

Like, are you fucking serious?

When I look at someone like Reese Witherspoon, who is like a, who's a mom, but also has like a really big community of moms.

And

how can you read about the breast milk shortage?

So many mothers have been slaughtered that there's not enough breast milk in the country for their babies.

Like, how can you read that and put together some bullshit statement?

Like, seriously, fuck you.

Fuck you.

Yeah.

Seriously, fuck you.

Everyone, like, doing back flips and backhand springs.

Mental gymnastics to mark themselves.

No, not mental.

Very

well gymnastics to mark themselves.

What's the word for writing?

Written.

Sure.

Okay, whatever.

I thought that was a better word.

Orated?

That's speaking.

Oh.

To mark themselves safe.

They spoke out, hi, I care, but you don't care about shit.

Who do you care about?

You care, but who do you care about?

Seriously.

It's so disappointing.

So many spineless people, but we always knew the celebrities

fucking suck.

They fucking suck.

And to put so much, and this is maybe a moment in my life where I need to reevaluate seriously, like how much

emphasis and like

and love and support like I give to other people.

Yeah.

Celebrities.

Like it's, and I know she will never be Like, it's literally gutting me that Taylor Swift hasn't said anything.

Like,

this, I'm literally going to cry.

Like, it's so stupid.

Why am I crying?

Like, this is someone I admire so much.

And like, I put so much of my, my heart into.

Like, it's so stupid.

Like, I really need to reevaluate.

I mean, I wasn't saying that, but yeah.

No, it's like embarrassing.

Yeah.

And, like, I know she'll never.

She doesn't speak out about anything.

But this is unlike anything

that has ever happened.

Like, in our lifetimes, in

This isn't just like another social issue where you like post a graphic and check a box.

Like, no.

And by the way, it's only going to get worse.

And that's another thing that's just so harrowing.

Like, this is just the beginning of it.

Like, Israel is yet to retaliate.

So many people are going to die.

So many people are going to die.

And in America, it's like this dumb war of statements.

Dumb war of statements.

And it's like, you know, there's bad on both sides.

No, that's not what it is.

This is good versus evil.

Israel is going to defend itself now, and people are going to die, and Israel is going to go out of their way to make sure there's

few civilian casualties as possible.

Before they started dropping bombs, they said women, children, civilians, go to the shores.

Go north.

Go out.

Go north.

There's two borders outside of Gaza.

People don't understand this.

Let's talk about this.

Gaza.

Let's talk about this.

The Gaza Strip borders Israel on one side, where that's how they got in to massacre, slaughter fest, rape fest 2023.

And they also, in the the south border Egypt.

If they want to get out of Gaza, go to Egypt.

Oh, they can't, Jackie.

Why?

Palestinians living in Gaza are not allowed into Egypt.

Why, Claudia?

I don't know.

Why doesn't somebody ask Egypt?

Where's Egypt?

You guys, bring up in my Egypt.

Why don't you, instead of, well, I don't support that Israeli government, what about Egypt?

Where the fuck are you at?

No, and for, and by the way.

Because of course Israel's not going to let those people in right now because when they let those people in, you saw what happened.

And by the way, for many years, you were allowed to, there wasn't like a big border between Israel and Gaza.

Like you could roam freely.

And you know what happened?

People roamed freely with bombs on their chests.

Right.

And they blew up a Sabaro pizza shop and they blew up buses.

So that's why we are where we are now, where you can't just freely roam in.

No, and there's a checkpoint where you have to get searched so that you don't enter with weapons.

Like,

there's history there.

It's not this way for no reason.

Israel has been so fucking patient with these monsters.

Yeah.

They're out of time.

These monsters.

These are days.

They're still telling people to go.

If Hamas doesn't let the women and children go and they still want to plant their children in front of their rocket launchers and the rocket launchers need to be bombed, those deaths are on Hamas.

100%.

Like, I think everybody everywhere can acknowledge and feel for innocent Palestinians living in Gaza, like for real.

And to put any blame on what's going to happen to them on Israel is shameful and anti-Semitic because anything that happens to an innocent person in Gaza is at the sole responsibility of their elected officials.

And their elected officials, their government is Hamas, a terrorist organization whose charter says, we will not be happy.

We will not sleep peacefully until every Jew is eradicated.

We will not be happy until Israel is completely wiped off the mouth.

And once we do that,

our next victim, America.

So if caring about people in the Middle East is not something you're capable of,

well, first of all, look inward.

And second of all, maybe you can care when it's about you, and it already is about you.

12, I heard this morning on the news, I don't know if this number is verified, 12 of the 150 people captured and living in Gaza are

American hostages.

14 of the deaths are Americans

citizens.

There are Germans there.

There are Mexicans there.

There are Nepalese people there.

Like, I don't know what I could possibly say to make people care and make people see what's going on, but this impacts all of us.

Like, it really does.

So, if you can't, you know,

lift an arm to give a shit about Jews, maybe you'll care about a fellow American.

I don't know, though.

Also, another weak statement.

I support

Israel and I support a free Palestine, you guys.

I hate to say that.

So does Israel.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but when they chant free Palestine, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

That is the land of Israel.

So you cannot have a Jewish state and a free Palestine.

We've been trying.

We would love that, but that doesn't work for them.

So you can't, there's no both sides here.

That's just the end of it.

Like, there's no both sides here.

Please.

Like, so take a stand for standard.

How scared people are

of the backlash.

And we've heard that a lot of managers, publicists, whatever are telling their clients don't say anything.

Even if they want to post something, they're like, don't post anything.

It's insane.

And I guess if you weren't going to post anything.

So stop posting your regular life.

Stop posting your regular life.

Stop posting your ads because I haven't noticed any, like, I only noticed the influencers who are posting their regular life.

I'm like, oh, but you didn't post anything about this.

But if you haven't posted anything, I haven't noticed, like, you're flying under the radar.

Yeah, and that's fine.

And that's that's fine.

But to go on, like, so unabashedly, like, going, you know, flying around, going to parties, like it's insane.

Posting your ads, yeah.

No, I do have an ad today, and I'm gonna be posting it.

Yeah, why should we be punished?

No, I'll get the money and I'll donate it to Israel.

No, any brands who want to work with me, I'm feeling all incoming offers.

I will be donating it to Israel.

So, yeah, why would I leave that on the table?

No, for sure.

Why is Hamas gonna win?

Win, take my money.

No, literally.

No, I don't think so.

Not today, Hamas.

Not today.

Other things buoying me.

Oh, Oh, yes.

My book.

Of course.

Last night, this made me cry.

And

so many toasters are sending me pictures of their kids with my book.

I sent this picture in the chat of this little red-headed girl holding the book.

She literally was the campaign.

She's you.

And the toaster was like, she thinks the book is about her.

Stop.

Oh, my God, Claudia.

I was beside myself.

Like, 100%.

I don't know why it just like

struck me.

I don't know.

No, it's just because the book is like, it's so pure and just like, I don't know.

It was the cutest thing I ever saw.

It is about her.

I told her, I'm like, tell her the book is about her.

She is the camera.

Jackie, redhead representation matters.

No, it really does.

Like, she said she doesn't really like see

redheads aren't usually like the main character.

We've got a few, you know, we have parents.

Callie and Annie.

But even they had to split screen time.

It was two redheads played by one actress.

Right.

They got a lot of people who had a lot of people.

That's a little representation.

Yeah.

And it just like warmed my heart.

People are sending me all of these pictures with the book.

Their kids are loving it.

The book is sold out everywhere.

So I don't really have a lot of promotion to do today.

It will be back in stock on Thursday.

So maybe I'll do a fresh launch day on Friday.

Yeah, for sure.

Let's regroup on Friday.

Let's go so fucking hard on Friday.

Yeah, for the book when there's more in stock.

I can't believe it's sold out everywhere.

Like, I didn't think I would.

Okay, okay, Jeanette McCurdy.

I didn't, like, when I placed my first order of books, like, that's how many I thought I would sell in the middle.

Over time.

Yeah, over time.

So I never thought I would run out on launch week, which is cool, but it's not even like good, you know, because it's annoying that people can't get the book that they want.

But there are still copies available at Talk Shop Live.

Those are the signed book plate copies.

I'll be doing Talk Shop Live tonight.

We'll also be running a drive for Friends of the IDF through Talk Shop Live.

So we'll just be like girly swirlies, choking out the book, doing our thing, and that will just be fun.

And maybe it will be buoying for some.

For sure.

And I think, by the way, like

the reason why that made you choke up, I think we're all just like

so many

in Israel,

the majority of the victims of violence and terrorism are kids.

So whether you're a mom or not, you're just like looking at kids now like these precious souls.

Precious souls who at every cost need to be protected.

Yeah.

That's why.

So it's for the kids.

It's for the kids.

It's the best book ever.

Like, and I heard everybody talking about what happened at the lake.

Everyone's talking about it.

Everyone's talking about it.

And you have to get the book.

No spoilers here.

So thank you to everyone who's been so supportive.

The toasters are the best community.

My DMs are flooded with love and support, and I've read them all.

I can't get, like, I haven't responded to all of them, but I see them and it means so, so much to us.

Oh, my God.

I met a thousand toasters.

I literally was like, I felt like the president.

Like, no.

You should have gotten up and given a speech.

I was a little offended.

I wasn't asked to sing Hatikva.

My favorite song that I slay so hard.

Olivia literally asked me last night to send her a video of myself singing Hatikva, but like, I was a little hoarse.

I don't want to do it.

Who sang it?

nobody

or maybe i didn't stay for the entire thing so maybe like at the end somebody sang it okay maybe on the next one yeah i'm available i love the israeli national israel national anthem it's the best song it is

are you gonna do it yeah it's honestly it would make me cry i know and honestly i literally i want to wait for the proper stage i can't ever hear that song without crying especially not today so no um we're not here to depress you no we're here

already depressed Yeah, yeah.

We're going to try to buoy.

We've got some random fucking stories.

Certain celebrities are buoying me right now.

Yeah, and certain celebrities I'll never speak of again.

Yeah, I think we all know who they are.

Like, they need not be named.

Yeah.

We all know.

So without further ado.

I guess.

Did you hear us?

I just don't want to feel stupid again, you know?

No, I don't feel stupid.

Like, it's important.

It is, it is, it is, it is, it is.

It is to bring light and laughter and that's so the essence of the Jewish people.

Like, they're killing us and we're dancing.

I saw a video of like a wedding in Israel.

I know, where the bride and groom had come and none of the guests could come.

So just random Israelis, Jews were there celebrating, dancing with them.

Like they gave them a wedding.

It was so sweet.

It was so sweet.

Like, that's what we have to do.

We have to live.

We do, we do, we do.

It's hard, but that's what we do.

So we're going to do what we do.

Yadu.

We also have your toasters today.

And when I tell you, I was chuckling.

I was chuckling when I was reading that.

Oh, good.

You have the iPad, so.

I do, I do.

I'm taking my sweet time.

Oh, sure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No rush.

Our first story is actually some celeb news that would have made the fast five if the world wasn't set on fire by Hamas on Saturday.

So, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have reached a custody agreement.

It's nice.

It's nice.

And they're speaking out after their successful mediation, and they vow to be great co-parents.

Joe and Sophie are ready to put their tumultuous custody battle behind them and focus on amicably raising their young daughters.

The former couple released a joint statement about their co-pairing dynamic just hours after reaching a temporary custody agreement for their three-year-old and one-year-old.

Quote, after a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend equally in loving home, spend time in equally loving homes in both the U.S.

and the U.K.

We look forward to being great co-parents.

I mean, this trap.

Right.

This was just like a shocking turn of events because it's been so bad.

Yeah.

And I think when we all saw the lawsuit and then the custody, we were reading it and we were like, this is something that's going to go on forever and it's going to get really messy.

So they mediated one time.

We all saw the pictures of Sophie leaving and

we love that.

Do you think that the events of this weekend maybe put things into perspective for them?

I don't know how involved, you know, Joe and Sophie are in global issues.

Like, I don't know.

I don't, I just feel like it, it, it could have, and for some people, it would have.

Maybe not them.

Maybe they would have.

No, it's definitely possible that this could have impacted somebody.

Like, wow.

You know what?

Like, let's do what's best for us.

We're fighting over what man should.

Right.

Let's put like, you love them.

I love them.

Let's play time with them.

Like, we are so grateful and blessed.

Honestly, that's an amazing call.

I think it's entirely possible because, like, we were saying, like, anyone with a child, I mean, anyone, but anyone with a child specifically, like, is looking at them differently today.

Yeah.

And I feel like we were saying how this was getting so nasty.

Like, it was going to be one mediation of many.

And if they could even mediate, they would probably go to court.

They would court date for January.

And all of a sudden,

it's good.

I mean.

That would be a nice thing.

I don't know.

I feel like for some people that would have happened.

I don't know them at like personally.

So I don't know if that's what it is, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.

Me neither.

That's a nice way to look at it.

I'm glad they worked this out.

Honestly, I have not enjoyed talking about the demise of this marriage and this family.

Like, it's actually really sad.

Yeah.

So they were able to work it out

across the pond.

So it's good.

I wonder where in the U.S.

they'll live.

Hopefully, New York, because it's just a lot of people.

It's so much closer.

It's so much closer.

It's really the equivalent if one of them lived in LA and one of them lived in in New York, if they're doing New York in LA.

Yeah.

Six hours, five hours.

Yeah.

Okay, good.

Good.

I'm happy for you.

Next story.

Dancing with the stars is

dancing with stars.

The stars are dancing.

The stars are still dancing, which was crazy.

I was on one of their Instagrams last night to see if she had posted anything.

And her whole feed was Dancing with the Stars.

One of the dancers.

One of the stars.

Oh, it's who?

Ariana Maddox.

Oh, she's very vocal.

Vocal.

Vocal Clayton.

I didn't, it was just her whole thing was dancing with the stars.

I was like, this is still happening.

You know, it's so crazy.

Maybe like we're too in it, but like, I can't believe people are literally doing anything.

I mean, it's crazy.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I should dance.

No, and it's like, you're not going to cancel Dancing with the Stars because, like, come on.

Because there's a war.

But it was just so weird to see.

You know, that series were like so many slides of like.

Dancing, dancing, dancing, pirouette, cakeball change.

All this crapple.

I was like, wow.

I'm just like, no, it's on a different universe.

Speaking of dancing with the stars, you know me, like, I am a sleuth.

I am a curious cat.

Like, when people are doing fundraisers on Instagram, like, I'm seeing which of the people I follow have donated.

Harry Jouzey, donating $1,000 to the cause.

We stand.

Vote for Harry Jouzzy.

Vote for Harry Jouzzy and Mauricio Yumanski.

Right, because Mauricio Jumanski declared that he was dancing for Israel after performing the fox shot with his partner, Emma Slater, on Motown Night.

No, I love him.

Danced to the pop song, Working My Way Back to You.

And

he said, tonight, Tonight, I stood by Israel and I danced for Israel and we gave it our all.

His routine scored 23 out of 40 points.

Yeah, like, why is this making me cry?

This is so stupid.

Dancing.

Like, I can't.

I love Mauricio.

I take back every bad thing I've ever said about him.

He's my Jewish king.

He's always, you know what?

Like, he's always used his very small role on housewives.

Kyle, too, like, talking about their, you know, interfaith marriage and her conversion and Shabbat raising Jewish daughters.

I love them.

I love them.

I'm sorry.

Love them.

He's always been like a very good representation of a Jewish man.

Yeah, especially because there's so many misconceptions about Judaism.

I feel like we had this conversation when there was like a spike in anti-Semitism like a year ago.

Because a lot of people who don't care to learn about the faith, like really just dismiss Jewish people as white.

And it's so not true.

Judaism is an ethno religion.

And I think what's going on in Israel is a testament to that.

Like there are Lebanese Jews.

There are...

Arab Jews.

Like most of the Jewish population lives in Israel, over half, and they are not white.

Yeah.

They're, I guess, brown.

And And Mauricio is a testament.

He's a Mexican Jew.

Like you can.

There's Ethiopian Jews.

Of course, they're black Jews.

And Mauricio's just a testament to that because he is a Mexican Jew.

And people, I think,

who don't know the complexities of the religion would say that's impossible to be a Mexican Jew.

But it's entirely possible.

And you're right.

He's been a fabulous representation for our people.

And I think we need to remember that more.

And then I think there's also a lot of really public Jews who...

you know, most days are really great representations of the people, but in times like this, they fucking suck.

Seth Rogan, like, literally never hated someone so much.

My god, what did he do?

What didn't he do?

Like, he's the worst.

Yeah.

Don't claim him.

So, to not only see that he's like a good Jewish man, but he supports Israel and he's not backing down.

He's the whole package.

And then there's the other shtick.

I think Margo said this in one of our group chats, so shout out counts.

Like people who love to use like Judaism and culture for shtick.

For shtick.

And like jokes and like latkes, ha ha ha, like being a Jew when it's easy.

And then

plat.

And they get platforms for that.

And people use their statements as resources and they do nothing and yeah other people who you know dislike jews and don't want to support jews they use those statements and they hide behind them because they're like look this jewish person i'm with the jew i'm with the jew who fucking sucks yeah and then there's other like another subset of people who are very proudly married to jews or like date jews and be like oh jewish men make the best husband and we all know that and they love to advocate for the judish jewish people like as in a joke like

yeah that's why i was i i had seen that video of alex cooper that went viral being like first thing my mom told me was like, Dave, Jewish man.

I wish my mom told me.

I wish my mom told me, Dave, Jewish man, and it went really viral.

And then, when this was happening, you know, my ass flocked to her page.

Yeah, she posted.

She posted.

No, it's like you can't be with us when it's funny.

When it's like nice and fun for you, but you have to also stand with us during the hard times.

So, yeah,

I'm just taking away.

But then there are also women who date Jewish men or convert and marry Jewish men and have Jewish children who are the best advocates for the Jewish community.

They always say the Jewish converts are better than the Jews.

Like, they have such a, um,

I don't even know what the word is.

Like, ruach is the word, like, which translates to spirit, but it's like this fiery fucking need.

They are more observant than, you know, people who are born Jewish.

They are, you're right, like, converted Jews have this crazy energy in a good way.

Yeah, yeah.

So, it's, it's a spectrum, you know.

Right.

Totally.

And just because someone's Jewish and they said something, like, doesn't mean that that's the right thing.

Like, Ben Platt's statement, like, crap.

Throw it in the garbage, light it on fire.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Also, someone who used to be like that, but who has stepped his pussy up is Andy Cohen.

Let's talk about Andy Cohen.

I'm so glad you brought that up.

He used to be the worst.

Like whenever there was like spikes in anti-Semitism, talk about somebody who was a bigger, the biggest platform.

And he's not shouting into an echo chamber.

I think a lot of creators who are very proudly Jewish and pro-Israel, their followers are the same, you know?

So it's great, but it's not really moving the needle because you're just shouting into an echo chamber.

I mean, talk about Andy Cohen, like, could he be friends with more celebrities of different backgrounds?

Could he have a wider audience, like all over the country from housewives?

And talk about somebody who's literally done nothing like for the people or the movement.

Like, oh, like,

it has definitely marred my view of him over the last couple of years because he really, for a very, very, very, very, very long time was like an enormous role model of mine.

Yeah, but also talk about someone who not only has the audience and the celebrities and the connections, but whose shtick is so Jewish.

Mazzle.

Everything.

Yeah, no, so who has built a brand with the Jewish humor and the Jewish culture,

and it has been enormously disappointing in recent years, but you're right.

He has stepped his pussy up.

Usually, like when some, when there's a spike, it takes him a few days, and then he like posts like a weak Instagram story, and that's it.

This time he posted in feed and he was on a quick look.

And he was very clear.

It was Israeli flag.

Very clear.

That's all it needs to say.

And you know what?

I do imagine that some of the influence, I have to imagine Anderson Cooper has influenced him.

Anderson Cooper has been fabulous.

Like I watched a bunch of his segments interviewing Israelis on the ground, interviewing friends and family of people.

He's in Israel.

He's in Israel.

He has been for a few days crying on air.

Like, really, I have to imagine Anderson had an impact on Andy because, you know, they're

Andy had an impact on Anderson.

True, true, true.

Great.

Yep.

Our next story.

Random as fuck.

Yellowstone's Kohlhauser launches a new coffee line inspired by his cowboy roots.

Well, before we promote his coffee, what did he post?

I'm kidding.

Let's just, like, make sure that he, like, I'm trying to post anything.

No, it's fine.

Like, no, he's not someone that, like, I need to hear from, you know, because I don't hear from him ever.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have an Instagram.

I don't know.

He does have an Instagram.

I follow him.

And so I would have seen

what?

What'd he post?

Oh, no, no, no.

Sorry.

It's

something from September, but it was like a group of people.

He never posts.

But he's very like, hoo-ha, America.

Which I feel like those people are pros are also.

Oh, yeah.

He was posting like September 11th tributes.

Right, right.

Hooha, America.

He's giving hoo-ha America, with the beard.

I wouldn't mark him as safe if I had to guess.

Like if I was a betting woman, I think he'd be okay.

Yeah, so he's bringing his ranch lifestyle to breakfasts everywhere.

Can't wait to support.

On Wednesday, the actor who plays Rip on Yellowstone, I'm sorry, Rip, launched his free rain coffee company.

People can reveal exclusively how exciting for people.

I don't really feel like that was a people exclusive.

Like, I heard about it like weeks ago.

I'm so happy for you, people, that you could reveal that exclusively.

When you need to do some more coverage about Israel,

the new brand is meant to be a nod to the rugged spirit of the West and pay tribute to the hard-working cowboys that Hauser grew up around on and offset.

Like I said, hoo-ha, America.

You know what?

I feel like he is a cowboy on TV, and like then we've all started following him, and he's like a cowboy in real life.

I feel like there could be like a scandal about him.

Where he grew up in New England?

Yeah, where it's like he's not a cowboy.

Like he went to boarding school and he's like

putting on this role and appropriating cowboy culture because, like, that's what people want to see from him.

Okay, this is like totally random.

I'm like sitting here thinking, like, I'm literally embarrassed that I cried about Taylor Swift.

Like, I need a grip.

Like, I'm not okay.

It's okay.

Can we cut that out?

No, I'm just really emotional.

Like, seriously, these are the most random things that get you.

Yeah.

Like, and I feel and I feel like you're like, no, like, if anybody ever clipped that, like, I would die of humiliation.

But just if they, if you clip that, like, clip this part too, where she said she's embarrassed.

Yeah, like, am I okay?

But I feel like other things like we prepare ourselves for to talk about on the show.

Yes.

We got our tears out about the babies yesterday.

Like, and I, we knew it was going to come up today.

And, like, like you can prepare yourself Yeah

and then something just hits you sideways.

Yeah, no, I'm humiliating that's what I said at the deer toasters last week when she was crying about the bill yeah that she like had to you're right and I made fun of her yeah like no I'm a different person this week like you will this is a new terdy a nerdy

anyways Kohlhauser who Still seems to be a cowboy has six blends that each cater to different tastes.

No, but you're right.

I'm ready for the Kohlhauser documentary.

Hashtag Kohauser is over party.

No, no, no.

Rip, rip.

Rip, rip.

No, I'm ready for it.

Like, you're right.

So inauthentic.

No, I'm saying, maybe it's not inauthentic, but I can see it.

You could see a world in which.

Like, he's the Rachel Dolezal of the cowboy world.

I agree.

I could see it.

I could see it.

But for now, I feel like the only person who talks about Rachel Dolezal anymore is Joey Camasta.

He like never lets it go.

And I think as a society, we need to talk about it more.

That was crazy.

Yeah, but also she's like an adjective now.

Like anybody who's like Rachel Dolezal.

Who's like pretending to be

someone they're not or like from a culture that they're not is a Rachel Dolezal.

So just to refresh my mind, she pretended to be black and made her way up to the president of the NAACP.

Yeah, she had a big role at the NAACP at like

a little bit.

She would like braid her hair and stuff.

Yeah, and like a lot of self-tanner.

And then how did people find out that she was actually just not black at all?

I don't know, but that's what people do.

That's where people really are the best.

Like that was, sorry, I was talking about people who exposed her, not Rachel Dolezal.

And it's like Ilaria.

That was crazy, too.

Yeah, that was crazy.

But yeah, but Ilaria wasn't working at the Center for, you know, Latin Life.

No, and it was just like funny and weird and like embarrassing.

Weird and embarrassing.

But it was like deeply problematic because she worked at the NAACP.

Yeah.

That was crazy.

Crazy times.

Let's start.

We need to start talking about Rachel Dolezal.

We need a list of Rachel Dolezal's.

Yes, yes.

Comment below.

Oh, Whoopi Goldberg being a Jew?

Yeah, but like not at all.

No, she's not a Jew.

She just changed her name and like tells people she's Jewish.

Rachel Dolezal.

It's giving Rachel Dolezal.

Actually, I've been...

Where's Whoopi Ben?

Another thing buoying me.

The nanny.

Like, for real.

Me and Ben, we got home from the rally, maybe at 6.30.

We ate Chinese food and we sat in bed in dead silence and scrolled our phones till 10 o'clock.

You just can't go to bed after that.

So we watched two episodes of the nanny.

It's a show like that is so proudly Jewish.

It's all like the invitation's a halfway to Israel already.

Like they just like talk about Israel as it's just, it's really, it's, it's buoying me.

That's, and it's an actually funny show.

Wait, where's Franj Rusher?

I'm sure she's doing something because she's a vocal queen about everything.

Yeah.

Let me just double-check.

Like, yeah, no, no, I, I have faith, but let's see.

She hasn't posted since October 4th.

I don't think she's like a constant story.

I'm just kind of Instagram stories.

It goes down in the stories.

It goes down in the stories.

I agree.

That was six days ago.

Seven days ago.

Franjer story.

We need like, what are those things called?

A Google Doc?

No, no, no, those advocacy groups.

They're like watch groups, watch dogs or something.

Okay.

That like keeps a running list.

That just like they keep tabs on stuff.

We also, like, we really need to talk about the posting and deleting.

Like, it's running rampant.

I can't believe people haven't learned.

I know.

Let's see.

I doubt Fran Dresher has posted anything.

Like, her Instagram is not a reflection of her, like, streams of consciousness.

No, she hasn't been in the news since July.

Oh, with the word Israel.

Let me take that.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because whatever you're going to find is going to be about SAG because she's the president of SAG AFTRA.

Variety to Hold Hollywood Summit.

Oh, yes.

Oh, you're part of this.

I am the pressure of Mark Marin out there.

I forgot that she's doing that.

And Claudia Ashre.

Is my name in the headline?

No, but I added it because you'll be there.

Yes.

What fabulous timing for real.

Yeah, much needed.

This thing was already.

I'm going to L.A.

next week for it.

And Fran is like the keynote speaker.

And I asked the organizers, I'm like, you have to let me get a picture with Fran.

Why aren't you in the text of this article?

I don't know.

Actually, I did get a media alert.

I think I am in like the very bottom if you want to keep scrolling all the way down.

No, I scrolled.

No, no, I'm there.

I know I am.

Claudia.

No, for real.

Give me the fucking iPad.

I know I am.

Literally, Claudia.

Oh,

wait.

Oh, sorry.

I don't know this website.

The variety.

The official one.

Obviously, this website cut me out.

What website is they call it.

I don't want to say it.

Let me see.

I've never heard of it.

Yeah, but I'm in it, okay?

I've already in my ass.

So make sure to check out Kohlhauser's coffee.

Thank you.

The Coast Guard recovers Titan sub-wreckage and more presumed human remains

1,600 feet from the Titanic, which was the submersible's destination when it imploded in Japan.

How much is 1600 feet?

How many feet is a mile?

1600 feet is 16 rulers.

I know.

1600 rulers.

16 rulers.

You know, I know, but that's hard for me to.

No, that's a a lot of rulers.

Yeah, no, they wouldn't have seen it.

No.

Unless they drifted and they happened to have been closer before.

Yeah, but I don't think it means that they made it down there, especially because when they heard the

they said that it collapsed almost immediately.

Yeah, and the Coast Guard heard it.

That was also fucking sus.

Yeah.

Sussy story.

Sussylicious.

Additional presumed human rulers.

Sussy spacecraft.

And the final pieces of the doomed Titan submersible were plucked from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean last week.

I guess this officially concludes this story.

Marine safety engineers for the Coast Guard recovered several parts of the wreckage, including the 22-foot vessels intact titanium end capped from the ocean floor on Wednesday.

But when they were searching the ocean floor for like a bunch of days and pretending to us like they didn't know anything when they clearly did, they didn't look 1,600 feet away and see this end cap.

Right.

I had heard they were searching for miles.

Right.

And according to my math, 1,600 feet is less than a mile.

Sussy SpaceX.

No, this whole situation was so weird.

Remember when it was like all we were talking about it, honestly?

I really missed those days, even though it was such a terrible story.

But it was a simpler time.

It was a simpler time.

There was no, you know, real villain except for that CEO.

Yeah.

And we all agreed.

And we missed those days of unity.

It's like the Suez.

That's what I thought when you were starting this story.

I thought you were talking about the Suez.

I'm like, wait, what's the Titan?

And then I remember.

I've moved on from the Suez.

I have too.

I actually moved on pretty quickly.

The Suez no longer buoys me.

No, the Suez no longer services me, like, serves me.

It was just, it was a moment in time, and people tried to make it more than that, and it really wasn't.

And now they get, like, stuck looking for attention.

Yeah, oh my god, everybody's always going to the Suez, but they're big boats these days.

Like, they're like, oops.

Oh, no, what did I do?

They're like, everybody's being like attention-seeking whores.

Yeah, I guess if I were a ship captain, like wanting to go viral, I'd give it a shot in the Suez.

I know, and I feel like so much of the ship captain life is like lonesome and boring.

And you know what?

If they need this to like stimulate themselves, I actually give them the attention they want.

Oopsies.

I made a whoopsie in my pants.

Oh no.

I made caca.

I don't need kaka in the bed.

I made caca in the bed.

Our fifth and final story.

Yeah.

It's Amazon Prime Day.

Who cares?

What are you getting?

Prime Day 2023 continues

because Amazon released a statement.

With amazing deals.

Jeff Bezos, like, where is he slinging his coin?

That's so true.

But he also owns the Washington Post, which sucks.

Sucks.

Ass.

Literally.

Like, oh, that's an amazing point.

I don't know, but what?

But you feel like when you're at that level, like, you just own stuff.

You know what I mean?

Like, I don't think you're a part of the editorial team.

Yeah, and you don't deal with the literature.

Not that I'm not excusing it.

But if you do have, like,

things that you care about, you would make an effort.

You would make an effort.

Yeah, what about Lauren?

I can see her being like a pro-zero queen.

Yeah.

Me too.

And she clearly doesn't give a fuck what people think about her.

She's dating Jeff Bezos.

No, and like she just does her thing.

You know, when you're at that level, like you.

You know what?

She actually posts on Instagram.

Yeah, what does she say?

And it's also crazy how all these people who like philanthropy and service is kind of their brand because they just have money and nothing else to do.

Yeah.

Like are silent.

Like the.

Who are you referring to?

Megan and Harry.

Yeah.

Humanitarian.

Yes.

And they're out here talking about mental health today.

Today?

Yeah, it's like World Mental Health Appreciation Day.

Oh my God.

Those days help nobody.

Like I think it's important that we all acknowledge that.

Is that people who never told us?

Also, shout out to Toast sponsor BetterHelp, who's offering free therapy to everyone in Israel for the atrocities they've had to witness over the last few days.

Proud to be a show sponsored by BetterHelp.

Not today, but just in general.

Yeah.

Hold on.

She's the vice chair of Bezos Earth Fund.

Did she post anything?

She has three stories right now, but it's been a while.

Right.

In feed, no, I think she went to that YouTube concert and the big

sphere.

Sphere, yeah.

The sphere that was covered in an Israeli flag and YouTube performed and sang a song in solidarity with Israel.

I love Vegas.

Can't wait to return.

She posted this, like, but it's not, it's

unclear.

You want to know the most telling thing?

It's a tweet from someone, from a pastor.

You want to know the most telling thing about how much power social media has on people?

It's that people who've never supported a thing in your life will weaponize responses like unfollowed as if that's supposed to hurt you.

You could have left without an announcement.

Okay, that is.

There is unfollowing happening on both sides.

Let's see what this pastor has been posting.

Nothing.

Well, things about, of course, you know, having Christ in your life, but not.

He spoke at the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia two days ago.

Okay, that's good.

It's so funny the way we have to research.

You just have to know where people stand.

Because I don't want to talk about or follow people who support evil.

That's just not what I want to do.

And then she posted another thing.

We love your big feelings.

Yeah, that's like mental healthy.

Okay.

Because I think today.

I'm sorry, talking about mental health, given what's going on, is a scapegoat.

You're seeing influencers being like, mental health is of utmost importance right now.

Mental health is always of utmost importance.

It's not able to worry about your mental health

privilege when you don't have your physical health.

Like, look at this headline from People Today.

Megan Markle stuns in an off-the-white shoulder ensemble on October 10th at the Archwell Foundation Parents Summit titled Mental Wellness in the Digital Age during Project Healthy Minds World Mental Health Day Festival in New York.

No, that's a good thing.

And that's been the long headline.

Trim it down.

Trim it down.

That's just journalism 101.

So today's World Mental Health Day.

I'm sorry.

I just feel like when things become days, like International Women's Day, things, when you become a day, the cause is over.

Like, I, because to me, it helps nobody.

It almost trivializes what the thing is about, and it makes me feel stupid being a woman, a woman on International Women's Day, like for real.

Yeah.

World Mental Health Day.

And if you're going to have like a summit about motherhood and kids, and like you don't acknowledge what's going on right now, like you're a joke.

Yeah.

And it's not a funny one.

Pass me the iPad.

We sell Deer Toasters.

Do we want to do that today?

I feel like

it'll lift spirits.

Yeah, we have time.

Okay, so Dear Toasters, our

weekly advice segment, is where you guys can write in to us about what you're currently dealing with, and we'll do our best to give you advice.

It's all anonymous.

You can email us to your toasters at gmail.com, or you can head over to the toastpodcast.com and submit it there, too.

So,

are you ready?

Actually, I want to start with this one that I saw earlier.

It was like giggly.

Okay.

Hi, Claudia Jacks.

I'm a grown woman marrying a grown man.

He just so happens to be providing me an opportunity, as our therapist says, to temporarily be living with his parents before we buy our home.

Oh, before we buy their home.

Oh, that was an important thing I misread.

So I guess they're moving or whatever.

They're going to buy the house from the parents.

With this comes a

plethora of issues with the future in-laws.

I've learned to not get mad, but rather just laugh.

Yesterday, my future mother-in-law took the liberty to fold my clothes from the dryer.

I can understand if I was hogging valuable real estate, but she wasn't even doing laundry.

My fiancé says she was just nice.

My fiancé says she was just being nice, but I surmised she wanted to see my undergarments.

Is this weird?

Am I in the wrong?

I think she's being nice.

Like, honestly, somebody's doing my nice.

You would fold my laundry.

Like, no, seriously.

friend.

I don't care if you're a homosterist.

Like, you're folding my laundry.

No, I'm totally kidding.

Anyone who folds anyone's laundry, I understand like taking it out, putting it in a laundry basket because you need the dryer.

That's different.

And I don't think that's rude either.

No.

Stay on top of your shit.

But to fold it, that's actually nice.

Maybe she sees you.

I wouldn't,

unless she's like a deeply evil person who you have like crazy evil history with, which if you live with, I don't assume that you have that.

I think you can assume that her intentions are good.

Give her the benefit of the doubt and just take the folded laundry and take the win.

Yeah, no, I hate to say a toaster's in the wrong because toasters are never in the wrong.

She's asking.

Sometimes people just assume they're right and they're like, what do I do?

And it's like,

how do we tell you?

How do we tell you?

The call is coming from inside the house.

That's another, okay, wait, we need to start a list.

There's this woman on TikTok who like stitches people's videos who use like funny phrases and writes them down.

She's like, I want to start adding these to my daily life.

And there are a few things like I always want to start saying more.

Rachel Dolezal.

Okay.

The call is coming from inside the house.

Just like good terms.

Good shit.

Like a list of good shit.

No, my list titles, like, have to be really specific or else I can't find them.

Okay, list of phrases.

Terms and phrases.

Terms and phrases.

You've been Rachel Dolezald.

No, no, no.

You are a Rachel.

Like, they are a Rachel.

Well, you can, it's a noun or a verb.

That's what's so beautiful.

No, but when, like, you've been Rachel Dole's house, it's like that happened to you, not you did it yourself.

Let me just write Rachel Dole's haul and we can iron out the terms later.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or like the specificities.

The call is coming from inside the house.

Whenever people use that phrase, it makes me giggle.

It's so funny.

It's like you're being hypocritical.

Yeah.

Okay.

Do we have anything else?

Oh, the Game of Thrones thing.

You said it earlier today.

We all have a role to play in the war to come.

Is that it?

Yep.

I like that one.

Obviously, for me, fuck around and find out.

Yeah, but that one comes to mind a lot.

Yeah, I don't forget it.

I don't find these naturally coming to mind, and it bothers me.

Okay, so we'll keep the list going.

Okay.

Great.

Dear Jackson Claude, avid listener and spritz enthusiast here.

I'll try to keep this short.

My husband and I have been married for six years and we had our second child two months ago.

I've been a size four my whole life, but after our second, I've really struggled to lose the pregnancy weight.

I'm now a size eight.

Since I've added on weight, my husband orders for me every time we are out eating and has never done so in the past.

He will only order salads or something very healthy while he orders whatever he wants.

And I'm starving.

Should I be happy he's trying to help or mad because he won't let a breastfeeding mama eat?

What would you do?

Please help.

Oh, Jackie had a different thought until...

No, I didn't.

Oh, like your head ticked over breastfeeding.

Yeah, I didn't realize she was still breastfeeding so that's different she needs to get those extra 500 calories no honestly and you're fucking ravenous when you're breastfeeding this is beyond problematic behavior like your husband should be canceled like no i know and it's like it's one thing if he wants to like say something to you straight up but to be so manipulative manipulative it makes it worse no and honestly like a man who has anything to say about like his wife's body like problematic but it takes it to another level when she's postpartum literally like just gave you two children the second child is two months old No, that's crazy.

This man's a problem.

But the thing is, she has two kids with him and especially two months old.

So she's got to solve this.

Yeah, no, and I'm sure she's right again because she's probably still really hormonal and she's like, am I crazy?

I mean, I think you guys should have a conversation about it where you're like, you need to stop.

I just gave birth two months ago.

I understand I'm not who I was when you married me.

And if that

might never be, or if that's something that like is important to you, you could be like, just be patient with me.

Like, I'll get there.

And if you don't intend on getting there, which is also fine, just be like, and this is who i am now because i gave you two children like fucking deal with it fuck all the way off all the way off stop ordering for me no or by the way

we don't talk enough as a society about the types of people in our society who order for others yeah but also say like you're starving our child if i don't get enough calories yeah you're starving our child

People who order for other people, like, that's like one of my biggest like etiquette pet peeves.

Like, it's so presumptuous.

Yeah, especially these days, everyone has like allergies, dietary preferences, gluten.

intolerances.

You literally can't order for someone else.

No, it's like a crazy thing to do.

All right, are you ready for our third?

Yes.

Hey, Jackson Turtle, I hope you can give me some advice.

My husband and I have been together for almost 13 years, married for five, and we have a two-year-old son together.

Two years into dating, when I was 18 and he was 20.

Scandal.

I found out from a friend that he had cheated on me.

It was a drunken one-night stand.

I broke it off, and about a year later, we reconnected, and then the rest is history.

Out of nowhere, this whole situation has found its way back into my mind, and I just can't get past it.

I told him how I was feeling and it made me feel, it made him feel really awful and it's now just become this like big elephant in the room.

He suggested having alone time, going on a date, but I'm just not into it.

What do I do?

Honestly, I feel like this is like the time for couples counseling.

Like getting through infidelity is really hard and it's like once you get over it, like what it takes, like a year, like it can come back.

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

I mean, how can you not be resentful?

Yeah, but I thought once you're in the middle of

the words of Lauren, but you, you can't forget.

No, but I feel like once you move past it, you're past it.

I didn't realize it could like have flare-ups.

it can have flare-ups but like the rule and this is what I think they say in couples counseling the rule and by the way I sound like I'm speaking from experience like I'm not I don't know where I hear this I feel like I heard it in

the sweetest no no what's that movie how to lose a guy in 10 days when she dresses up as a therapist as a therapist who looks like Jenna Lyons

they say like you you work it out like you you can be mad but once it's done like you're not allowed that's like here lies Shannon Shannon and Damon here lies Shannon yes Shannon and Demon Bador she had to literally bury her former self in order to move on from their affair.

So it's like a big no-no to move on and then like come back.

But it's a human instinct.

Right.

So I think counseling is a great solution.

I know, and I think people think couples counseling like is the beginning of the end, but I know a lot of people who are in like extremely healthy marriages who go all the time, like who don't even have problems.

Like they just like go.

Yeah.

And I'm not talking about myself, even though I sound like I am.

But I wouldn't be embarrassed if I was.

I think every couple's different.

Every person's different.

Some people do a lot of therapy and want to do therapy even when they're mentally sound.

And other people, even when

they're mentally unwell, they don't go to therapy.

Everyone's different.

I think that's a really good solution.

Also, for me, sometimes I just need time.

Like,

I'll get over it in my, like, I just know, especially if they've worked through it.

It's like, oh, I'm having a cluster right now.

Like, something else will come up in a few weeks and I know it won't bother me.

Some anxiety and something else to worry about.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I also find like maybe when you experience like temporary eras of peace in your life, like where nothing's bothering you, you tend to go back and find things, self-sabotage, find things to worry about.

And like, maybe this is to look at it with a positive, maybe you're just in a very peaceful place in your life that you're looking for things to worry about.

Yeah, I think we've all been there.

Yeah, but I don't think like you need to break up with him immediately.

I would try a few things before you do something like that.

I think it can be remedied.

If it can't, then it can't, but I think it can be.

Same.

And those were your toasters.

I'm so glad we were able to help others

today.

So that's our show.

Yeah.

That will always be our show.

Hopefully,

when we go back on our phones after this,

there's not horrible news waiting for us.

My phone's blowing up.

So, thank you to everyone for being here, and we love you dearly.

Have a great day.

Love you.

Bye.

Bye.
